The first game from independent developer Recoil Games is out on PSN today. Rochard is the mysterious tale of a space trucker, his sweet hat, and his mighty gravity-defying G-Lifter that he uses to solve puzzles and battle space enemies. Along with the release, Sony 🅺and Recoil Games have put together a launch trailer to give you an idea of what🔯 the game is all about.

Rochard has the feel of a much sillier Shadow Complex &mdas♒h; one that isn't afraid to add some goofy aliens and make fun of its own science fiction roots. Now that the game is out, there's plenty of time for space-jokes, but for a while during development the Rochard’s future 🐲was uncertain.

It isn't easy being an indie developer. Read our review – and if you want to try out Recoil'ไs inaugural effort, you can download Rochard on PSN for $9.99.
